Indian
Institute for Peace, Disarmament Environmental
Protection as a part of IPPNW arranged
remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki days from 6 to August
in Nagpur and other cities in India. On 6th August the
event arranged in Raman Science Center Nagpur. More than
200 student
and teachers from various school participated.
Dr. Krishna Kambale, ProfessorHead department ofRadiation Therapy
Oncology, Government Medical College addressed, the
participants in simple and lucid mannerMedical
Effects of Nuclear War. He said that atomic explosion
which create intense thermal radiation, shock wave and
blast, affects the human being intensely. As well as on
food and nutrition. Millions of human being and animals
will die and many more suffer from various radiation
diseases like cancers. After explosiondirect
and indirect effectsn
on water supplies, sanitation and public health. Thermal
injuries, kellods, nuclear cataract, leukemia and other
cancers. There is no medical
cure. Wars never go accordingly to plan. Mistake due to
human failure and technological malfunction as
inevitable. To save the humanity and planet earth only
way is to get rid of the inhuman nuclear weaponsfrom the
plant earth.

Dr.
Balkrishna Kurvey , President IIPDEP
said 6th 9th August 1945 is the blackest days in the
history of humanity. Atomic bombs was dripped at 8.15 am
on Hiroshima and at 11.02 am on Nagasaki where many
million people lost their lives instantly. He narrated
the international scenario and spoke on detail on South
Asia, hot bed of arms race. There are many complex
reason for the miss-trusts, miss-understanding and
animosity. Any fanatic military officer or terrorist
groups may start nuclear war in south Asia. The threat
of use of missile by either India or Pakistan is
terrifying because distance between launch sites and
target is so short it take only 6 to 8 minutes. It is
difficult to determine when an incoming missile was
carrying nuclear weapons and due to misunderstanding as
retaliation nuclear war may start. Nuclear blast
happened in few seconds of nano second. Countries posses
hydrogen, thermonuclear bombs which are many thousands
effective andlethal
than atomic bombs. There is MAD (Mutual Assured
Destruction) race is going on in the world. Dooms day
clock is ticking. Most people in India as well as in the
world are not aware that happened on fateful day in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Public education is only tool
for Nuclear Weapons free world. Peoples especially young
generation have to be informed and educated that power
does not come from nuclear capabilities and weapons of
mass destruction but from the economic growth. We have
to decide whether we want to live in peace orin
pieces. It is upto us to keep the mother earth safe for
our future generation by saying no to the weapons of
Mass destruction.
